2016 c300 Automatic High Beams
In Germany (and some other European countries), ILS doesn't necessarily come with Adaptive High Beam Assist Plus, and only has cornering lights, motorway mode and country road mode.
Note how Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus is listed as 'only available in conjunction with ILS', and is a separate 119-euro option.
If your car has ILS with Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus, there should be at least one camera on the top of your windshield (two if your car has the Lane Tracking Package or Driving Assistance Package Plus package installed).
If your ILS system has AHA+, just put the headlight switch into Auto and push the indicator stalk forwards. When the dipped beams are activated, the adaptive highbeam icon should appear below your Agility/Dynamic select driving mode (headlight sign with an A inside) - see the picture from my own instrument cluster.
In New England, we have had several terrible head-on crashes by wrong-way drivers on limited access highways. Some have occurred late at night with no other traffic on the road. The drunks steer for the oncoming headlights, because that's all they can see. My resolve is that if I see wrong-way headlights approaching, I will head for the breakdown lane, stop, and hope I have enough time to turn out the lights. The only way to turn out the lights is to turn off the engine AND OPEN THE DOOR! Merely turning off the engine lights the running lights. These are bright enough to drive by. Of course, opening the door lights the dome light, the puddle light in the driver's door mirror, and I don't know what other lights.

In Europe, automatic highbeams are separate from ILS and is an extra option.
I will attach my original explanation here:
